VIRGINIA HOUSE DEMOCRATS CALL ON VIRGINIA HOUSE REPUBLICANS TO DISAVOW TRUMP

Oct 08 2016

With Republicans across the nation withdrawing support of Republican Presidential nominee, Donald Trump, due to the latest reveal of Trump's sexism and anti-women characteristics, Democratic members of the Virginia House of Delegates are calling on their Republican colleagues to disavow their support for Trump as well.

"Candidate Trump’s offer to be the candidate of change has been consistently overwhelmed by insulting behavior and comments which distract us from our serious policy challenges and divide us in the process. His is certainly not the Virginia Way, and we as Virginia leaders, both Democratic and Republican, have an obligation to step forward and say enough is enough," said Del. David Toscano, Leader of the Virginia House Democratic Caucus.

"Trump has been a national embarrassment for months. As President, he would be a threat to our national security and our standing in the world. It's long overdue for Republicans in the House of Delegates to reject Trump," said Del. Charniele Herring, Chair of the Virginia House Democratic Caucus.
